Meet David Chalian: Producer of Charlie Gibson's Palin Interview
bigGovernment.com ^ | 8/29/2012 | John Sexton

Posted on 08/29/2012 5:36:30 PM PDT by GVnana

Yahoo news director David Chalian was fired today after he was caught making an offensive comment on an open mic. Chalian was caught saying of the RNC convention, which took place as hurricane Issac hit New Orleans, "They are happy to have a party with black people drowning."

->snip<-

Perusing Chalian's biography, I found this: "As part of the team that traveled to Alaska to produce Sarah Palin's first television interview as the GOP vice presidential nominee (with ABC News' Charlie Gibson), Chalian received an Emmy Award nomination."

This is the infamous gotcha interview in which Gibson stared down his reading glasses at Palin and demanded a definition of the Bush doctrine. It's also the interview in which Gibson confronted Palin with a partial quote and, when she claimed it wasn't accurate, snapped, "Exact words."

GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?

PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.

A bunch of two bit punks, over educated indoctrinated at the finest schools.

All fixed now. What passes for "education" in today's over abundance of liberal institutions of "higher learning" is little more than brainwashing and rote memorization of talking points, distorted or reinterpreted "facts" to backup Marxist ideals, and apparently a trained reaction to illicit extreme hatred and intent to destroy when challenged on this indoctrination.

Did anyone drown due to Hurricane Issac?

Exactly what does that have to do with the price of corn in Kansas?

Media is the #1 enemy in this country and these liars are the product of an organized communist takeover of our educational system. They learned early, beginning with garbage grade school textbooks, which incidentally are created by journalism majors. Pretty vicious circle.

In the last four years, Sarah Palin has moved the US Congress to the Right, which is more than you can say for John Mcain, Steve Schmidt, or Nicole Wallace.

She also became independently wealthy. And still looks good enough to make any paparazzi walk over Katie Couric to get a shot.

Take your pick how you’d like to define revenge; her post-election career fits any definition.

Watching the RNConvention it occurred to me that the ghost of Sarah Palin was very strong there. The night she stepped on the stage at the RNC 2008 and spoke the minds of conservative Americans “out loud” she changed the political conversation. She gave Conservatives across this great land permission to speak up for what we believe. Paul Ryan’s speech would have been much different tonight had it not been for Sarah Palin. Few will admit her influence, but it was there. God bless her for her sacrifices for America.

Sarah Palin's Ping List

PALIN:" No no no no! Please go vote! Let me ask you — man, do me a favor. If this go-around you don’t know who you dislike more or like more, Romney or Obama — this go-around, give Romney a shot.

We don’t want to repeat the failed policies of President Obama. That’s insanity, to repeat the same failures over and over again and expect a different result."

Of course not? It was possible. I’m ignore his intent, I was focusing on Hurricane ISSAC. So, I’ll take your comment as ‘Thankfully, no’.

Rush also exposed him today, and mentioned his ABC-Gibson/Palin connection too.

Thanks. I haven’t watched it. And I do remember her first night on stage and the excitement she caused every day following. She reawakened what has been long dead and like you say - she spoke what we had been thinking and wanting. I agree. God has blessed her and will continue to guide her. He knows the end from the beginning - so she’s on solid ground and always one stop ahead.

That used condom now has his name and picture front and center. I hope he enjoys his new very, very public presence and has the funds to enhance whatever security he employed when he was an anonymous POMediaS (POMS).

Did you hear that talking head afterwards saying the same guy who wrote Sarah Palin’s VP speech also wrote Paul Ryan’s?

WRONG!! What is damaged is your thinking process. How many more years will it take to rehabilitate that?

What do you gain by being so rude? Do you think Sarah Palin would ever write something like that?

The truth is never rude - only to a PC crowd!

What wrong with you, who said I’m to emulate Sarah?
